Roar Industries Ultimate SUP Challenge - Gold Coast Qld

With a North Easterly Wind the conditions were not the best for a SUP Surf comp at Currumbin Alley so it was moved to Southport Spit.

Movember

Movember see a very busy month for us at Kia Kaha Canoes & Paddles. With Racing manufacturing and trying to grow a Mow, we are jammed packed with things to do.

First Relay race of the OC1 season in Seaway to Seaway Gold Coast Relay I have my best friend coming over from NZ to partner up with me. We will be racing on a Pahoa Tiger Canoe kindly lent to us by Harvie. Looking forward to the race but conditions are changing and it looks like it might be a flat glassy race this year.

Just arrived for me is my 14ft Naish Glide - Looking forward to getting this one finally out on the water after a delay in delivery we finally can start our new adventure of Downwind tours and training session.

The Idea for this is to get more people out into the Blue Horizon paddling boards or Canoes. We have already started Early Morning training session at Lions Park Noosa Heads - Monday Wednesday & Fridays will see those how show up some great fitness training, proper technique and skills while paddling either in the Surf, flat water or on the Blue Horizon.

21st is the Roar Industries Ultimate SUP Challenge - this year has seen a name change from the Honolua to Roar Industries. This is a great event and I am hoping my new board is ready!
